*** IMPORTANT NEWS: We have just been informed that Shock Therapy actually defeated Runnin' Fools last Thursday and went 2-0 against them during the season. Thus, 9-5 Shock Therapy will host 3-11 Split City in the Quarterfinals of this weeks Thursday Night Playoffs !!! *** (You are now returned to your original programming) ...
3-11 Split City took down 8-6 Shock Therapy in Game 1 and then fell to 10-4 Runnin' Fools in the nightcap. Shock Therapy took two on the chin and fell from second seed to 3rd seed. OBI and Runnin' Fools will meet in Round 1 with the winner most likely facing Shock Therapy in the semi-finals.
Although these may well be two winnable games, OBI has been much more Two~n~Out than Split City this season. The question is,,, which of the 3 teams shows, Two~n~Out, Split City, or OBI???
With Jakob, Matt and Clint absent for Game 1 this week, an old friend dropped by to fill in and give us the boost we needed, KC. His 3-4 performance and play at 2B did nothing but fuel the OBI fires and our play showed it.
Jayse and Ron replaced Matt and Clint at 1&2 in the game and were a combined 4-8. Respectable and just what we needed from them, both were timely when we needed it. Hitting in the 3rd thru 8th spot were John, Spillane, KC, Paul, Nuta, and Michael. These 6 spots in the order Each went 3-4 and scored 12 of the teams 18 runs.
With the score 12-9 going into the final inning, OBI brashly put up a 5 spot to push the lead to 8 following Larry's lead off hit. Shock Therapy was done and unable to mount any sort of comeback. With another fine outing, JR picked up the win and continues to rule game 1s.
After an hour off drinking and cavorting, Split City scored two runs in a failed attempt at a sweep. Won't Runnin' Fools be surprised when we show up sober this week ;~)
Stats are on the way...
